Number of Covid Hospital Patients in England Falls to Seven-Month Low

by Michael Curzon
28 April 2021 3:59 PM

The number of people in English hospitals with Covid has fallen to the lowest level since last September, according to the latest NHS figures. The total is down by 96% from the peak in January. The Evening Standard has the story.

The number of patients in hospital in England with Covid has dropped to its lowest level for seven months, figures show.

A total of 1,310 patients were in hospital at 8am on April 27th, according to figures from NHS England.

This is the lowest since 1,299 on September 21st, and is down 96% from a record 34,336 on January 18th.

During the first wave of the virus, patient numbers peaked at 18,974 on April 12th 2020.

Both south-east and south-west England are reporting numbers down 98% on their second-wave peak, while eastern England has seen its number drop by 97%.

Patient numbers in the Midlands have fallen 96%, with London north-west England and the combined region of north-east England and Yorkshire all seeing drops of 95%.

The number of hospital admissions of patients with Covid has also dropped significantly since January.

Yet more good news, but will the Government – transfixed by the threat of Covid variants – take any notice?

Worth reading in full.

The comparative figures for 2020 and 2021 are useless.

By January this year, hospitals were opening up. I was briefly in hospital both at the beginning of the lockup and at New Year. The difference in admissions was massive between those two periods. It has little to do with Covid.

They are not covid patients

They are patients who have given a positive test using a dodgy testing process

If this nonsense carries on the whole country will be destroyed

Quite a coincidence. The number of people in English hospitals waiting for cancer treatment has also fallen to the lowest level since a long time ago.

They don’t care about the numbers now or in the past. They care about the numbers in the future – and they only get that from modelling – modelling which is showing a catastrophic mid August hyper-spike. And their models have always been proven wrong in the past. But they don’t care – ‘but Sweden is full of reindeer herders who live alone’, ‘but Michiganers didn’t obey the rules whilst Texans obeyed Michigans rules’. Its all bullshit. I’m fucking bored of it. The only thing I really care about now is not having my children vaccinated – this is the UK, not the medical wing of a Nazi death camp. Put it off long enough and the vaccines will be withdrawn. Covid will go (or has gone) away of its own accord just like sars-cov-1. When the panic is over, who wants to give their kids a vaccine from a lineage that has never ever been licensed (mRNA) or one that seems to give more clots the younger you are? Everyone I know who has been vaccinated with AZ has turned into a sanctimonius wanker. They won’t report this as a side effect because you can only see from the… Read more »

One of those vaccines is incorporated into your host genome for replication, the other is not.

Juggling with numbers is playing into the enemy’s hands. It tacitly accepts that if the numbers go up, the whole bollox can start up again.
Lockdowns are wrong. Wrong. WRONG. Evil and WRONG. It doesn’t matter how many covvies the NHS can scrape up. It doesn’t matter if hospitals are overwhelmed, which has been their permanent state for as far back as I can remember, Evil is evil, however you dress it up.

Spot on. It cannot be said enough that even if they worked, which they don’t, lockdowns are a monstrous evil.

Is it true that hospitals are coercing people into covid tests before getting treatment?

I am thinking that the majority of covid cases are now obtained from hospitals tricking people into taking a covid test. This is what you would do if you wanted to maximise deaths from covid, test those who are least well. We desperately need to stop the false positives and restrict testing only to those expressing true covid symptoms. Do that and I have no doubt that all of the covid figures will fall to zero.

Just one life though. Just one. It’s all worth it. Just one final push. Sadly people have been taken before their time. We should lock down until we eradicate death.

Can LDS please say ‘with positive RT-PCR test results in the last 28 days’ rather than ‘with covid’. Given the current prevalence of the virus SARS2 its very likely there are ZERO patients in UK hospitals with the effects of the virus. Now maybe some false positives and ‘symptoms’ of a respiratory disease type, but SARS2? unlikely. And can LDS please distinguish properly between the virus , SARS2 , and symptoms of a disease called ‘covid19’. The disease symptoms have been the problem for medics to solve, the label ‘covid19’ is not something that should be given to positive PCR tests. Those test for the virus SARS2.

Will the Government take notice of any data than contradicts their Covid wet dreams? Do snowballs survive in the summer?
